Beyond the Bar

Beyond the bar on yon­der shore

Across life’s trou­bled sea

There is a ci­ty bright and fair

Prepared for me

pre­pared for me.

I’ll need no light of sun or star

When I my Sav­ior’s face shall see;

That will be light enough for me

Throughout a blest eter­ni­ty

Beyond the bar

be­yond the bar.

Beyond the bar the King ab­ides

Among His jew­els rare;

And some day I shall dwell with Him—

My home is there; my home is there.

Beyond the bar there is no death

And sor­row reigns no more;

There are no bruised and bleed­ing hearts

On that blest shore

on that blest shore.

Beyond the bar we’ll meet again

The friends we’ve missed so long;

And with them sing for­ev­er­more

Unending song

un­end­ing song.
